She was also blessed with many loving nieces, nephews and their families. A child of the Dust Bowl and Great Depression, she attended Western State College of Colorado, then joined her sister LaVerne to work for the State Department, being among the first group of civilians to go into Berlin, Germany as World War II ended. There she met, fell in love with, and married her boss, Harry Elsworth Tabor, who was then a Captain in the Army. They were transferred to Vienna, Austria where their first child, Terrence Rex (Terry) was born. They were a true military family, moving often, as Harry's assignments required. After living in Europe, they moved to Augusta, Georgia (where their second child, Marcia Marie (VanSkiver) was born; Falls Church, Virginia; Boston, Massachusetts (where Harry received his MBA from Harvard); Kim, Colorado (while Harry was in Vietnam); Virginia again; Geneva, Switzerland; and Virginia. It was during this time that Exa completed her BA in Business and MA in School Counseling at George Washington University. She then taught classes at George Washington University, focusing on training Peace Corps workers. In 1966, Harry and Exa were transferred to Beirut, Lebanon. When the Six Day War broke out, Exa and Marcia were evacuated to Greece for a period of time while Harry stayed in Beirut; their apartment served as the temporary US Embassy during this time. Eventually they all wound back up in Falls Church, Virginia. Three months later, Harry was assigned once more to Vietnam. Exa and Marcia moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado to be closer to Terry who was attending the Air Force Academy. When Harry returned, he and Exa moved to Ft. Huachuca, Arizona. At Ft. Huachuca, Harry was promoted to Brigadier General. Following several heart attacks, Harry retired from the military and joined General Research Corp and they moved back to Arlington, Virginia. Harry passed away from a heart attack on April 10, 1984. Exa stayed in Arlington for another 16 years, actively involved in her church, Church of the Covenant in Arlington and serving in Hospice care. In January of 2000, she moved to Boise, Idaho to be closer to Marcia's family. Here, she again became actively involved with her church, Covenant Presbyterian Church, gardening, sewing, quilting, and participating in all the activities of her children and grandchildren. She has been fortunate to be surrounded by the loving families of her children: Terry Tabor (wife Marlyn), and Terry's son's Brad, Travis, Cory (and their families).
